Protect your pictures by preventing the memory card form being formatted.
Most digital cameras record information onto some sort of flash card. SD memory cards are the universal standard, but before this, both Fujifilm and Olympus designed cameras to function with XD cards. These cards function the same but have a slightly different shape. To prevent picture loss, it is important to avoid formatting the XD card. Formatting the card removes any saved images from the devices.
Instructions
1. Eject the XD memory card from your digital camera. Typically, this is done by flipping open the memory card compartment and pushing in on the memory card. This unlocks the card from the camera, allowing you to slide the XD card free.
2. Look on the side of the XD card. There is a small indentation here. Along the indentation is a small switch. This is the write protect switch.
3. Flip the switch up. This places the XD card into write protect mode. Doing so prevents any information from being removed from the card. It also protects the card from formatting.
